[The Ex];

You are not replying or acknowledging my emails and I will just assume that you are reading them.

[daughter] is attending [school] Elementary and her teacher is Mrs. [teacher].  [school] was not accepting late registrants although we appealed to Dr. [teacher], the [home town] Superintendent, she could not attend [school].  Her Guidance Counselor is Mrs. [guidence counselor].  You are more than welcomed to call them.

She is doing very well. She has already made friends at school, she loves her new teacher and she is just shinning.  I am very proud of the adjustment she is making thus far but we have an appointment with a therapist this evening.

She is telling the school that you are picking her up, I think you need to confirm that you will not be doing so, at least not until the summer.  Its not really appropriate that you tell her these things because its simply not going to occur. I think its better to address the situation as it is instead of giving her false hopes.  The guidance counselor agrees with this statement, please try to respect that.

I overheard [daughter] shouting last night about her door.  She was upstairs in her room but was very loud as we all heard her.  She has a door, she changes in the bathroom or with her door shut.  She has privacy and knows how to make herself comfortable.  I am saying this, although I have no real reason to explain it to you but so that no more false accusations are thrown by you.

I think for now we need to limit the conversations a little bit, in time NOT in frequency. [daughter] just seems very upset with the conversations.  I’ll address this more with the psychologist tonight and will relay his findings.  If he feels it is appropriate, I will of course include you in on the sessions, if you want to be included.  For now, a short call every night and a long [webcam software] or Sunday call to [daughter]’s wishes would be better.

FYI: Bedtime is at 8PM.  [daughter] typically showers at 7:30PM and so please try to call around 7PM, like I stated previously so she adjusts to the schedule appropriately.  I am in no way, playing the ridiculous games that you did.  I see the importance in [daughter] maintaining a relationship with you and your family.  I’m contacting grandparents to let them all know [daughter]’s contact information.  Please forward the information to [daughter]’s Aunt and Uncle as well.

Thank You;

Also - [daughter] has asked you several times as have I... she would like some of her belongings here and we all would be very grateful if you can mail them, especially [daughter].  We also need her cell phone back so that she may get a new phone.

We are still decorating her room (final touches, etc) and if you want to send some pictures of you and/or you and [daughter] so that we can frame them and put them up, I’m sure [daughter] would like that as well. Feel free to include pictures of her grandparents, [The Ex’s Current Husband], her pig etc... [The Ex’s Current Husband] is more than welcomed to call [daughter] as well.  He was an important figure in her life and he, of course, is still her Step Father regardless of where [daughter] is.
